Theirs a Stan jamess shop in tatts @ Chester now ...Best Odds on certain races

Perhaps on-course bookmakers could erect their joints outside the high street bookmakers shops?

I just wonder how much rent stan james have to pay chester to compete with the wonderful chesterbet model

Looking at the comments on here, what is evident is that some are thinking about their business strategy and how they can define themselves from their fellow bookmakers, commission agents, flimpers call them what ever you want,  technology is the killer and in a few years time it simply wont be good enough on the non-busy days (which will only increase) and expect the punter to give you their bang...... you gotta do something to get it and those forward thinkers are already thinking of ways to make sure they are at
the front of the q........... Fact - Bigger than the machine fair price ........  e.t.c e.t.c e.t.c    You gotta try to do whatever you can

I've got a good idea, retire!

AS already posted adge,you assume wrongly,you weren't there,try to accept the facts.
Regarding FACTS,there are obviously still a few good oncourse bookmakers around,apparently yourself included,however when a poster posts up things that took place,it is pointless denying that it was true,and wasn't the case.
Obviously you have to stand your corner and stick together,but you should still be able to see the overall picture from the punter's point of view,and not assume that they are always wrong,don't understand bookmaking,and are after something that isn't on offer.You aren't present at EVERY course!
Many times bookmakers have responded with"why don't you get a pick,and try it yourself,and see how long you last".
Well that is stupid ,and rude,again assuming that the majority of posters are clueless in the way a book is made.As this is an anonymous forum you wouldn't know one way ,or the other,who you are responding to.

unbiased , glad you're back.
now instead of suggesting what we shouldn't do like lower a price that has become above the exchange price [ which leads to arbers knocking your friend out of the way in the rush to get it ] . let's hear your ideas on what we should do and still have a fighting chance.
for my own business I bet each way on all 4 runner races and many with 3 runners. I bet place only on all races even the one's with odds on favourites. I pricematch betfair on all horses up to 7/2 on midweek days [ but I don't top the exchange ] except to the next customer in my queue.
over to you

not as simple as that , mr crisp , as many of us do have opinions. we can lay on here too.
let's stay with the 5/2 chance which is popular.
if we decide we want to lay and the price on here drops to  3.45 / 3.5 [lay ] we wil leave 5/2 up.
if it drops to 3.35 / 3.4 why would we leave it there when arbers wil take our 5/2 and lay 3.4 themselves
don't forget we can lay 3.4 on here too

Spot on Adge.

We always put up the favourite (and quite often the 2nd fav too) at what's on offer on here,we prefer to lay to the on course punter and not the armchair fiddler on here.

However if the horse(s) can't be laid then we do so on here to the amount we're happy with then reduce the price.

If the price drops in the meantime then we try to lay at the lesser price and reduce the board price accordingly....it beats me why punters don't take the price while it's there originally,as Facts correctly states,the punter has never had it so good.

BIGGER THAN THE MACHINE ALL DAY AT HAYDOCK TOMORROW,COME RACING
